what about a small tale for my child? (wolfstar and drarry and some snucius)

1. Do teachers ever retire?

Warning: I don't believe that there are any.

It was the morning of the meeting and Sirius was quite excited to see the school again. They may have not gone to the school, but they still snuck in a number I of times to play pranks. There were some secret messages and things they placed throughout the school too. "Sirius honey, I don't think the desks are gonna be the same ones from when Lily went to school. I highly doubt that McGonagall's cup is stuck to her wall." "You never know Remus, it could still be there." Remus just rolled his eyes as he went back to putting on his shirt. "I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to leave after us. Y'all did the most redulces things." "Hey, you helped us plenty of times, so don't you dare say it was just us." "I may have helped, but unlike y'all I was never caught, so they will never know it was me." "That's just because everyone thought you were a goody two shoes."

They had just finished changing when Harry knocked on the door. "Come in, me and Sirius just finished changing." Harry opened the door and mouthed the word breakfast as he pointed to his mouth. They never went through with trying to find someone to teach them sign language since they were able to understand each other just fine. They all went down to the kitchen and Remus fixed everyone some waffles. Hiss was loosely wrapped around Harry's neck still sleeping. No one was really bothered by him having the snake everywhere he went. It never did anything to get a bad rep and was quite enjoyed by some people when they saw Harry out in town. This was out of town though. Not too far out of town, but far enough were Harry's never been before. Sure there were no rules about having reptiles on you, but the three of them went to shure how the teachers would react to Hiss. Oh well they would just have to deal with it.

They left soon after with Sirius dressed leather. He tried to convince them to let him take his motorcycle so he could arrive in a cool manner. Remus however did not think that was a good idea so he ended up driving there since Sirius decided to have a fit and pout on the way there. Harry sat in the back sit and "talked" about the school. Sirius did most of the talking though telling Harry of the teacher there and all the pranks they pulled. It was about an hour later when they arrived at the school. There waiting for them at the front doors was none other than Professor McGonagall.

"Good morning Sirius, Remus. I see that you haven't changed one bit with all that leather. You must be Harry. It's nice to finally meet you, I'm Professor McGonagall." Harry waved at her and smiled. "It's nice to see you two again. If I remember correctly we had more problems keeping you lot out of trouble then our own students." "Yes, well Sirius is still the child he was then, just on the way here he had a fit." "Remus!, don't lie to the teacher." Harry smiled at the conversation between the adults as McGonagall opened the doors and let them inside. "Your godparents were quite the charter when they were young, I'm glad to see that hasn't changed much." She smiled down at Harry and noticed the snake. "Oh, is that yours? It's quite pretty, Professor Snape would even say so." "Harry nodded and then showed a look of confusion on his face. He let Sirius talk for him. "Yup, I got him that snake for him when he was 7. It's name is hiss." "I hope it's not a problem with y'all, it's kinda like his service animal. Wait- did you say Sanpe?" "Yes I do believe you would remember the boy who was at the receiving end of most of Sirius and James' pranks. He was hired some time ago, I think it's been about 3 or so years. Professor Slughorn retired. Severus makes quite a good teacher, though he has quite the reputation for being too strict." Remus wasn't too surprised by this but Sirius on the other hand was nervous to see Lilly's old friend. It's not that he didn't like Snape, just that he knew all the things he did was kinda mean and was not ready to face Snape. Remus being able to see the somewhat fear in his husband's eyes reassured him that they would be fine.

McGonagall explained that they would go to the great hall first where the headmaster was and then she would show them to some of the different teachers and what they do. Meeting Dumbledoor was nothing much, just some greetings and how some people lived at the school and others, like Harry just dorve. They then went over to the different teachers and classrooms. The first person they saw was Binns, who was sleeping at his desk. McGonagall told them that he has been working here for far too long and needs to just leave. Professor Bathsleda Babbling was next and was certainly translating a book from old english. While she was an english teacher she also worked with a group of people who pride themselves on translating and reading old texts from around the world. She was nice and seemed like a likable teacher. Professor Quirrell was okay, but stuttered too much for anyone to really understand him. He and Professor Snape were the lab science teachers. Professor Sinistra was another history teacher and the astronomy teacher. They didn't make it to the second floor wear her classroom was, but saw her when they went outside to the greenhouse. By the greenhouse was a building that was Madam Hooch's and Professor Sprout's offices. Both were quite nice and happy to see Sirius and Remus again. They may have not gone to the school, but they made their presence known.

As they headed back inside to Snape's room, they stopped by Professor McGonagall's room, where there was a mug glued upright against the wall above her desk. "Whoa look Remus, the cup is still there. I told you so." "Well I didn't even think McGonagall would still be working here. Why haven't you left yet, not that you should, but I was almost sure you'd have enough after the marauders. I'm surprised Professor Slughorn is the only one who left. It's like teachers never retire." "Teaching is what most of us love and we usually have nothing better to do with our lives but help grow young students into functioning adults." She eyed Sirius and then added on. "Well for the most part, honestly though, did y'all really need to glue my mug up there?" "Yes! It was a dare from James and I was not backing down."

Professor Snape was okay, and did in fact tell Harry that his snake was a creature of beauty. Sirius tried not to look at Severus, but when their eyes did meet all Snape did was nod. "See I told you, seeing him would have been fine. Y'all are adults now not young teens." "He is right. While I didn't like how I was treated, we were kids back then and I was kinda rude to y'all, but we're older now and see the flaws in the ways we acted." Everyone was a bit shocked by the response, but soon Sirius spoke. "Your right. Well while I'm not completely sorry for the things I did to you I can see that you've changed a bit. It's nice to meet you Professor." "You as well uh... what last name do you go by? I know you two got married." Remus still blushed when other people brought it up since when they got married they had chosen to use Remus last name. "It's Lupin." They both nodded in agreement. "Remus I hope you keep your husband in check, something tells me that the peacefulness at the school won't last much longer." "I will, but you know how Sirius is."

After that encounter they went back to Professor McGonagall's room and discussed how the school would work with Harry being mute. Hiss was allowed to come as long as it was with Harry at all times. Seeing as how the boy could write perfectly and get what he wanted to say across to people, there would probably be no problems with communication. They told them that they had till wednesday to make their decision about letting Harry go to school. Sirius, Remus, and Harry told their goodbyes and left so they could eat lunch. Since they were already out they decided to eat at the cafe by their house.
